Collaboration works seamlessly and automation supports efficient file sharing
I work as a software engineer in fraud prevention projects where I function primarily as a data engineer. I work with data warehouses, which are centralized storage systems where transactions through databases occur and data from various client sources is consolidated. Amazon WorkDocs can be integrated with AWS Lambda and used with step functions. If publishing with SNS, WorkDocs can subscribe to SNS as well. The integration capabilities of WorkDocs with other AWS services are strong. For access, we use Okta with our AWS account, and we can only log in through our laptops. We authenticate and access whatever services we are authorized to use from the company. Mobile access is not allowed. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Amazon WorkDocs an 8.

Secure file sharing has reduced licensing costs but still needs a more intuitive interface
One improvement FileCloud could benefit from is modernizing the UI and user experience. While it is highly functional, its interface feels enterprise-focused. A sleek, minimal design that is more intuitive would reduce the learning curve for complex employees and streamline the settings and menus to make the administrator's life easier. Additionally, I would appreciate having native real-time collaboration. Although integrations with Microsoft Office or other software as a service offerings exist, they are not as seamless as a native experience. If FileCloud built its own native collaborative editor or made an agreement with Microsoft, it would eliminate the slight lag that users feel when opening documents. I also think it could improve by reducing the complexity of the initial setup in an on-premise environment.
